A brief explanation of why you think s/he would be a strong fit for Teach For America's staff.

There are a vast number of job types and teams across 50+ regional teams and 15 national teams. Many staff members enjoy working across multiple teams over time as their experiences and interests evolve.

I’m interested in a lot of staff positions. Can I talk to someone about which position is right for me?

We’re so glad you’re interested in staff positions at Teach For America. However, due to the number of applications we receive each day, we don’t have the capacity to have individualized conversations with prospective candidates. To be fair to all candidates, we encourage you to browse all positions that fit your interest and background experience and submit an application online.

A flexible location means that the person in this position might have the option of being based in one of our regional offices, the national office, or in a remote location. Flexible locations vary based on the specific role, and if a candidate moves forward, details will be discussed later on in the application process.
